Itinerary

Admission not included30 min

The Petronas Twin Towers are an ideal place for a spectacular selfie. The Towers are justifiably considered a highlight of a trip to Kuala Lumpur, as they present an opportunity to marvel at the city’s skyline and capture unforgettable moments on camera.

30 min

You will then head to the Merdeka Square (also known as Independent Square) where you can relax in the cool breeze, take photos, and see the surrounding buildings such as the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.

15 min

The National Mosque of Malaysia is a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has a capacity for 15,000 people and is situated among 13 acres (53,000 m2) of gardens. The mosque is a bold and modern approach in reinforced concrete, symbolic of the aspirations of a then newly independent Malaysia.

30 min

Visit National Monument that has exhibits of local history, culture and traditions, arts and crafts and a great bronze sculpture erected to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives during World War II and the Emergency.

30 min

Visit the Taman Orchid Gardens and enjoy a moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

30 min

The Malaysian equivalent to Buckingham Palace, Royal King's Palace (Istana Negara) attracts thousands of visitors with its golden domes and Islamic-style architecture. Although you can’t explore the palace, you can learn about the Malaysian monarchy.

30 min

Drive to Thean Hou Temple, a 6-tiered pagoda temple atop Robson Heights. Completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989, it was built by the Hainanese community of Kuala Lumpur and is dedicated to the goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother).

We visited the Merdeka square, central Mosque, the palace, where we witnessed the changing of the guard and much more.

We were taken on a half day tour of Kuala Lumpur. Our amazing guide was Sathia- what a gem she was. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and love for her country shone through the whole trip. Four hours of unbridled joy and education. Thank you Sathia. Celeste and Andrew

Highly recommended for solo travellers

Highly recommend especially for solo travellers. Thanks to Denesh I was able to see many highlights I otherwise wouldn't have across the city such as the botanical gardens, the war memorial, the KLCC and the Kuala Lumpur Tower as most Malaysian tours seem to only allow booking for 2 or more people.

Passionate and enthusiastic

Great trip to Batu caves and Malacca. Prabaz was a lovely driver and guide who is very knowledgeable about Kuala Lumpors history and culture and was very keen to share this with us. We loved our trip but the only disappointment was missing out on the boat cruise in Malacca, a key element of the visit to Malacca due to a heavy rainstorm. Had our trip taken place the previous day as per our booking we would have had the complete experience

Home away from home, in our hearts we carry sweet memories of love. Courtesy of Mr Vikram the tour driver.

After a warm reception by Mr Vikram, Today he took us through city tour. KL towers, King palace, chocolate tasting shop, Batick clothes shop, birds n Botanical garden drive. His professionalism is excellent, he is a very kind man, he watch over my small baby asleep and I had nice time to take pictures. In him we loved Malaysia and my son learned alot. In him we found a brother not only a driver.

An insightful city tour.

The half day city tour was insightful, I learnt about the history of Malaysia. I visited religious sites that are of significance to the Malay people such as the National Mosque and the Thean Hau Temple. At the Thean Hau Temple, I learnt about the Chinese zodiac signs. Yuvanesh the designated driver for the day was quite knowledgeable and maintained a calm demeanor even when I lost track of time wandering through the tranquil Thean Hau Temple and the surrounding gardens. Yuvanesh graciously accepted to be my personal photographer for the day🙏🏾.
